Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Attorney's fees for services to minors are fixed by, and subject to approval by, the court. In Los Angeles County, for example, they are generally limited to 25% by local court rule. But your county might not have a fixed limit.

Maximum of 25 % and subject to court approval if settlement amount is $5000 or more

The other answers are partially correct. Each county may it's own local rule. Most deduct court costs from the gross settlement before taking the fee of 25%. The attorney may petition for a higher fee if he has taken the case to trial or arbitration. It must also comply with the Attorney Client Agreement with the client.

Usually 25% after litigation and claim-related costs. You can look up the local rules of court in the website of the Superior Court where the case was filed and there is usually a local rule that states the normally allowed percentage unless the court allows a higher percentage in case the case proceeded to trial at the request of the attorney assuming the fee agreement provides for a higher fee in that situation.

The other attorneys have assumed, probably correctly, that you are asking about a California case. Here in Nevada where I practice the answer is about one third or 33.33%. My law firm of Reed & Mansfield offers all car and truck accident victims a discount no gimmick fee of 25% if they have a favorable report as described in my website, www.accidentawardslasvegas.com

You can expect the answer to this question to vary from state to state.
